Chapter 104: I'm Giving Him the Cold Shoulder

The lightning condor king had indeed changed his mind . He felt like the best option was for Xiang Shaoyun to stay here . As for Xiang Shaoyun, he was crying dry tears from regret .

"Lightning condor king, you have saved my life, so I will naturally repay you for that . But if you make me stay here, even if I spend my entire life cultivating, I still won’t be able to reach the King Realm . I will only disappoint your expectations . " Xiang Shaoyun tried changing the lightning condor king's mind .

"Why not? Although I am not a human, I still know that it won't be hard at all for someone with innate purple lightning to reach the King Realm . Are you lying to me simply because you don't want to stay here?" questioned the lightning condor king resentfully .

"No, not at all . Listen to me . Although I possess the innate purple lightning, a human needs more than that to advance in cultivation . To advance in cultivation, I need to comprehend the numerous ways in which I can make use of my strength and power . By staying here, I will keep thinking about the human territory, resulting in a chaotic mental state . And with a chaotic mental state, it is natural that I won't be able to advance in cultivation," Xiang Shaoyun explained .

"I understand none of that . What I do understand is, if you stay here, I will help you reach the King Realm with all my strength!" said the lightning condor king stubbornly .

"If you want to help me, you should just be my mount and follow me back to the human territory . When I become a King, I will help you reach an even higher realm . " Xiang Shaoyun decided to stop beating around the bush and countered with his own offer instead . If he was made to stay here, how would that be different than being the lightning condor king's human slave? He could not accept that .

"No, I have changed my mind," the lightning condor king insisted .

"Don't push it, lightning condor king . It won't benefit either of us . " Xiang Shaoyun started becoming angry as well . As the great lightning condor king, how could he turn back on his words? Where was the honor of a King?

"Are you threatening me?" The lightning condor king stood up and glared at Xiang Shaoyun .

"You're a mere Demon King . So what if I threaten you . Just eat me if you can . " Xiang Shaoyun decided to completely throw caution to the wind and activated his lightning bone, causing the dragon and tiger within his spine to charge out .

The dragon and tiger orbited him, emitting a pressure unique to dragons and tigers . This was the manifestation of his presence of a king; and of the dragon and tiger, the purple dragon now looked even more solid while the tiger looked comparatively weaker .

Even so, the moment the dragon and tiger appeared, Xiang Shaoyun's presence seemed to have changed completely . A majestic aura emanated from him, making it hard for one to even look straight at him .

The lightning condor king also roared as his demonic aura surged out to meet Xiang Shaoyun's aura . Since the lightning condor king was a true Demon King, his demonic aura was boundless and powerful .

But when the demonic aura surged over, the purple dragon and tiger behind Xiang Shaoyun roared, and they both pounced forward . Facing the purple dragon and tiger, the demonic aura was actually scared into retreat .

Dragons and tigers were the kings of beasts, and their imperial aura was not something a lightning condor king could hope to contend with . This was the difference between levels of bloodline .

But the defeat of his aura did not mean the lightning condor king was helpless against Xiang Shaoyun . He was after all a Demon King while Xiang Shaoyun was still a seventh-stage Astral Realm cultivator, comparable to an Intermediate Demon . The lightning condor king could totally beat Xiang Shaoyun up if he wanted .

Xiang Shaoyun did not give the lightning condor king a chance to react as he quickly started fleeing . He would try escaping no matter what, as he would not accept the fate of turning into the lightning condor king's food . Alas, he hadn't even left the cave when the lightning condor king appeared before him with a flicker .

"Lightning condor king, demonic beasts never lie . You promised not to eat me!" Xiang Shaoyun said .

"Yes, I did say that . Let's go, I'll take you out . I hope you will remember the favor I did you in the future," said the lightning condor king .

"Don't worry . I, Xiang Shaoyun, am not a person who forgets favors . In the future, I will definitely repay you for your help," Xiang Shaoyun said gleefully .

Everything would be fine as long as the lightning condor king was willing to let him off . But it was a pity that the lightning condor king had changed his mind and was not going to be his mount anymore .

Otherwise, Xiang Shaoyun would have an additional great helper when he returned to the Martial Hall Palace . The lightning condor king was conflicted as well . He had just become a Demon King and would hate to part with his clan right now . He still needed to stay behind and protect them . Thus, he had to give up on his thought of following Xiang Shaoyun .

When sending Xiang Shaoyun out, the lightning condor king offered him a young lightning condor as a mount instead . But Xiang Shaoyun rejected . Although he also wanted a lightning condor mount, since he already had Little White, he did not have the time to take care of a lightning condor in addition to Little White .

More importantly, the bloodline of an ordinary lightning condor wasn't too powerful . The highest realm a lightning condor could reach was probably the Demon King realm . If others found out that Xiang Shaoyun had rejected a free lightning condor, they would probably be infuriated to death .

One ought to know that flying beasts were the hardest to subdue . The moment one obtained a flying mount, one would immediately be able to soar through the sky and overlook the world below . But Xiang Shaoyun did not care for that, as he had tasted the feeling of soaring freely through the air long ago .

"A human King has been staying right outside my territory, seemingly looking for something," said the lightning condor king . This was the territory of the lightning condors . Thus, he knew everything that was going on around there .

"Is he the one who attacked you previously?" Xiang Shaoyun asked .

"No . I wouldn't have left him alone otherwise," the lightning condor king said .

"Bring me to him, then . He might be my man," Xiang Shaoyun said .

Thus, the lightning condor king personally brought Xiang Shaoyun outside the lightning condor's territory . There, Elder Zhen Peng and Zi Changhe could be found .

When Elder Zhen Peng sensed the approaching lightning condor king, he was immediately on guard . But he suddenly saw that someone was riding the condor king, and when he saw who that person was, his face was covered with joy . "It's the young master! He is still alive!"

It had been many days since Xiang Shaoyun's disappearance . Elder Zhen Peng had been searching everywhere for him . He was even considering extending his search into the lightning condor's territory . But the sheer number of lightning condors forced him to stop his search .

After all, if Xiang Shaoyun had really been captured by the lightning condors, he would have been dead by now . It was pointless for him to charge in there anyway . But he still believed that Xiang Shaoyun was safe . No matter what, his young master did not look like someone who would die young .

Thus, he waited here patiently .

"Old Peng, senior brother!" Xiang Shaoyun shouted when he saw them . Then, the lightning condor king landed before the two and let Xiang Shaoyun get off him .

"Young master, are you fine?" Elder Zhen Peng asked . Although he was very shocked to see Xiang Shaoyun arrive mounted on the lightning condor king, he still suppressed his shock and did not let it show .

"I'm fine . The lightning condor king saved me," Xiang Shaoyun said .

"Remember your promise," said the lightning condor king before flying away .

"Young master, is he not your mount?" Elder Zhen Peng was confused .

"He did want to be my mount, but I gave him the cold shoulder," Xiang Shaoyun said nonchalantly .
